It is now widely recognized that antivirus software is insufficient to protect organizations, large or small, from advanced threats and targeted attacks. In response, organizations are increasingly looking to adopt proactive approaches to security, such as application control, to ensure the fidelity and security of intellectual property.

Carbon Black has integrated with Microsoft endpoint technologies to provide enhanced prevention, detection, and response capabilities. This paper from EMA provides an overview of these integrations and discusses the key benefits of Carbon Black’s partnership with Microsoft.

Today’s cyber-attacks have changed in sophistication, in focus, and in their potential impact on your business. This eBook will outline the tactics today’s advanced attackers are using to break into your organization and why you require a defense-in-depth cyber security program that incorporates automatic detection and incident response.

Traditional antivirus (AV) just doesn’t cut it anymore. From ransomware that holds intellectual property hostage to sophisticated malware-less attacks that exploit PowerShell, scripting, and memory, endpoints are facing more security risk than ever before. As a result, companies have set their sights on the next generation of lightweight AV solutions.

Hear what Trevor Albrecht from DraftKings has to say about his experience replacing AV with NGAV.
